My guess is that this is really a measure of how much abuse the language will tolerate. C# probably lets you get away with a bunch of things (like checking for nulls) that F# requires.
Also ES has some of the best, deep, insane lore. The series is at its worst when it tries to be grounded.
Even Skyrim ends with you going to the afterlife to gather aid from the dead and fight the embodiment of the cyclical nature of time by imposing the concept of mortality on it. And somehow that was a bog standard dragon fight.
Unless they've made some major engine changes... I feel like it's going to be hard to top games like BG3, Elden Ring, or even Breath of the Wild.
BG3 has the deep story and npcs. Elden Ring has the emphasis on combat. Breath of the Wild freeform exploration.
Yes, I want a game that combines all of those and in the ES series the closest was probably Morrowind (combat being perhaps the most notable lack.)
If nothing else the freckles make it so every inch is different. 😁
As a pasty ginger, I'm super jealous of what you consider a sunburn and not just an amazing tan.
My understanding of their desire is to be able to hold onto rights related to their settings and characters (and by extension you hold onto your own settings and characters) while forcibly sharing (SA) mechanics and to do this in a single license.
This is a goal that CC (BY) (SA) can't solve simply due to the one license requirement. The intent was (though the execution failed) that you'd say ORC everything but and the result would be people could borrow the ORC mechanics and any improvements could be backported if it was good.
That said, I haven't been following ORC very hard as I have no real interest in it. My own work I'm perfectly happy with CC-BY-SA on everything.
Polynesian for the original source of mana as a loan word would be cool. I also find stuff like Aztec would work really well for an RPG.
If I had a wish though, it would probably be to make a scaled down world that samples most of the historical cultures of each continent. Then do something where quests need you to do a bit of syncretism to solve them.
Even that definition is myopic. The Dems only want to return to 2016 in the same way I want to return to 1933 when minimum wage was actually valuable. It's not a focus on the past when your actions wouldn't change even if the past wasn't there.
Sailboat 2.0.
So so many unit tests I see don't meaningfully test anything. It would be faster to just read the unit under test because the test itself presents nothing that you wouldn't instantly recognize. Or the test is so tightly coupled to some arbitrary property that of course the test fails whenever you change something. UI tests at my current place are terrible for this, as they're just comparing DOM structures so any change breaks it.
Theoretically there is Gnu Guix, which uses Guile... I have no clue what support for it is like though.
I agree, strong typing is for weak minds. I work with a weak mind so I want strong typing.
There's no difference in speed between typing disciplines. In point of fact, there cannot be. You must know the structure of your data to program against it. Whether you write it down explicitly or implicitly changes nothing but the location you wrote it down.
